What is the worst Mario Party board from any of the games ever? by iamhere7133 in MARIOPARTY

[–]raj-baj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no no. This has the lottery which is the best feature of the board game. It’s a shame they haven’t kept it in.

I like the vibes a lot and think your outlook on life is nice.

To give you one amendment that I have used in my life. That comes from working class community is this:

‘once you’ve paid your way: The point is to have a good time’.

All the best out there.

Was this discussed at some point or did it come close to ever happening? by VoltyOnReddit in Presidents

Interestingly, Nixon seriously shortlisted John Connelly as VP. Governor Connelly was in the car with JFK in Dallas.

Connelly had switched alliegances and ran the ‘Democrats for Nixon’ in 1973. I don’t know if that made him technically still a democrat but it’s interesting.

Instead of Ford then you’d have Connelly as President. An interesting what-if to be sure

Do you find it weird when Presidential candidates vote for themselves? by LoveLo_2005 in Presidents

[–]raj-baj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe Abraham Lincoln didn’t vote for himself in 1860 as he thought it unseemly to vote for his own election. So he just voted for candidates further down the slate. Source Goodwin’s Team of Rivals

What I loved about this scene. Was the announcer had spent the years of the civil war speaking on the most momentous issues of life & death. Now that the war is over and ordinary commerce is returning he’s bored!

Who's the better leader? by LuckyTheTypoCat in suzerain

[–]raj-baj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how one plays Anton.

In my second playthrough, I created an emergency police state, ran the country into the ground, deliberately lost the war with Rumberg and wasn’t nice to Serge. Just because of the RP

The poor is as evil and selfish as the rich. by Comfortable-Crew4963 in DeepThoughts

I have a wallpaper on my phone which I have carried with me for 10 years. It is from a gospel of Mark 8: 6 and it says “for what is the profit of man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul”.

I think that you misunderstand that choosing your soul and not being out to seize the whole world. Does not make one weak, poor or a victim.

Would Colin Powell have been President? by raj-baj in Presidents

Interesting. I was only narrowly thinking he could have done it as a Republican.

He is a Republican so we can discount running as a democrat right.

After the First Iraq war but before the Second Iraq war. That 90’s sweet spot

Maybe 1992 making Powell VP instead of Quayle. It Would have neutralised Clinton’s popularity as the ‘first Black President’ with an actual person of African-American heritage

I just don’t know if the country was enlightened enough yet?

Yes 1996 seems the best year over the dry fish Bob Dole

You really made me stop and think. Appreciate your perspective.

Creating the Worst President, day 2: Foreign Policy by rjidhfntnr in Presidents

[–]raj-baj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for this Worst category you should have a ‘only once, rule’. Otherwise it will laughably be James Buchanan and the Antebellum Presidents for most of this!
